Month: September 2016

River keeps carving

Snaking through ancient canyon

Water falls and flows.

Tentacles of clouds

Brush against serrated range

Receding from lake.

Sun fades on far peak

Steam reaches for rising moon

Earth’s smoke cools with night.

Dark water breaks white

Rushing down steep jagged rocks

Into lonely pool.

Mountain hides in clouds

Above first colors creeping

Through September trees.

Last vestige of sun

Hovers above darkened peak

Sky slashed with fire.

Tapestry of trees

Sky filled with leafy green lace

Woven with sun rays.

Dark leaf silhouettes

Colors drain away from trees

Fill a brilliant sky.

Migration begins

Delicate wings fly so far

Amazing journey.

Mountains seem tiny

Nestled below layered clouds

Cut by slanting rays.
